<h2>Do you answer Windows questions too?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some of them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Answers in either the Tips or Answer Gang columns which relate to
|
|
troubleshooting hardware, might be equally valuable to Linux and Windows users.
|
|
This is however <I><STRONG>Linux</STRONG> Gazette</I>... so all the
|
|
examples are likely to describe Linux methods and tools.
|
|
|
|
<p>The Answer Guy has ranted about this many times before. He will
|
|
gladly answer questions involving getting Linux and MS Windows systems
|
|
to interact properly; this usually covers filesystems, use of Samba
|
|
(shares) and other networking, and discussion of how to use drivers.
|
|
|
|
<p>However, if your question only involves Windows, this is not the best
|
|
place to ask. The Answer Guy himself hasn't used Windows in many years,
|
|
and in fact typically avoids the graphical user interfaces available to
|
|
Linux as well. That we've grown up into an Answer Gang isn't worth much
|
|
for Windows only questions either -- only a few of us have any notable
|
|
experience with Windows, and for those of us that do, a lot of it is quite
|
|
out of date.
|
|
|
|
<p>Maybe you should try the websites for the various Windows magazines -- many
|
|
of them offer an open forum. You could even (gasp) use the tech support that
|
|
was offered with your commercial product. Also, there are newsgroups for an
|
|
amazing variety of topics, including MS Windows.
